Review: Gulf Air Business Class Lounge Bahrain (BAH)

Matthew Klint Posted onSeptember 8, 2018May 31, 2020 5 Comments

I arrived in Bahrain at 8:55 A.M. and my connecting flight did not depart until 5:55 P.M., leaving me all day in BAH.

I’ve been into Bahrain before and opted to head straight for the Gulf Air Falcon Gold Lounge and (ideally) spend the day working. You’ll find it on the second level

The 24/7 lounge is open to Gulf Air business class passengers, spacious, and never filled up.

Unfortunately, the most important thing I needed for a day of productive work, fast internet, was not available. Look at how poor internet speeds were:

That severely limited my productivity.

Showers and restrooms were available:

A smoking room as well:

If you are hungry, the lounge has a large buffet with a good selection of food. I did each lunch in the lounge and thought the mezze items were tasty while the hot food was so-so at best.

If you arrive in the morning, the buffet includes many hot breakfast items:

Lavazza coffee is available, as the signs make abundantly clear:

Alcohol is self-serve:

For the kids, there is a large game room that feels like an arcade as well as an area with toys and stuffed animals for use in the lounge. I ended up sitting there (back of lounge) because the internet was slightly faster.

Plugs are sparse in this lounge. If you find one, claim it or else someone else will…even when the lounge is not crowded. Work stations, including desktop computers, are located near the front of the lounge.

If you want to leave the lounge to do some duty free shopping, you can leave your bags in the baggage storage room:

Finally, if you want to rest, quiet rooms are available for purchase (15BD, so about $40).

CONCLUSION

The slow internet just killed my productivity, but I think this lounge is perfectly fine otherwise. It’s not a lounge you want to arrive early for, but I still enjoyed my very long stay. Great tarmac views as well:

    Yes I agree with you to some of points mentioned there but about the food let me tell you it’s limited in terms of variety and it is there since long. I am a frequent flyer of Gulfair since 2009 till to date and many times asked for the change in food but couldn’t get more. Other facilities are fine and getting better time to time.

The new United Polaris Lounge at Washington Dulles The new United Polaris Lounge at Washington Dulles is the most beautiful of all Polaris Lounges. Stay tuned for a detailed look and many more photos on the blog tomorrow. Well done @united.
@malaysiaairlines just announced it would retire i @malaysiaairlines just announced it would retire its A380 fleet. While not surprising, it is sad to see the growing list of carriers retiring this superjumbo jet. On Malaysia Airlines, I flew the #A380 once from Kuala Lumpur (KUL) to London (LHR) and had the entire first class cabin to myself (full review on the blog). It was a beautiful flight that I will always remember.

While I’ve enjoyed catching up on others over the years, now it is time for me to return to Instagram. In this first post, I highlight two joys in my life, my two children, whom I trust will grow up to be prolific travelers that circumnavigate the globe as ambassadors of love and respect.
